Crackle-tan and ochre
scuffs beneath our feet.
Sienna, burnt and raw
rain-pasted to coarse
paddock grass. Single, lemon
hued leaflings hurtle in mad
dance ankle high, defy
demented terrier snap – drop
like stone, to lie atop
wind-piled drifts of
autumn treasure.

yes they are a treasure..and whata dance you do between the colors…i can see the twirling and then collapsing in the pile with giggles…smiles….nice!
Awesome, you’ve captured the sounds and colors of a walk and trampling of leaves on a autumn day in this one. Thanks for share. 🙂
oh nice…sounds like your dog had lots of fun..and you as well..smiles..great pic as well sally
beautiful colors of autumn.. a treasure ~
A really enjoyable read.
Thnks everyone for the comments…it was serendipity that the challenge and the day coincided so well…
this was fun… thanks
I have one of those demented terrier types–very characteristic. Really strong visuals in this, succinct and well phrased all through.
this is homely,
walking your dog in fall,
playing with colorful leaves, nothing is better.
Thanks for sharing.
Sally, I enjoyed this immensely…the colors and the terrier. I’ve had Jack Russels for 20 years or so. Can relate. You have to love them.
